Leading actor Aaron Monaghan introduced Redemption of a Rogue as “dark, unique, Irish, something special” to the audience of the Casa del Cinema where the film was screened outdoors by the Irish Film Festa last summer.

“Something truly special: Redemption of a Rogue is one of the best Irish films of recent years", said Irish Film Festa artistic director Susanna Pellis.

The movie will be screened in its original version with Italian subtitles, and entrance is free. For details see IFF website.
